Organization of San Jose Fit

Georgiana manages the overall operation with a lot of help from the coaches and other volunteers.

San Jose Fit is organized into three main groups:

• Full Marathon group (Yellow Shoe tags; Head Coach Trevor)
• Half Marathon group (Orange Shoe tags; Head Coach Sarah)
• Walking group (Purple Shoe tags; Head Coach Kriba)

 Each group is further divided into pace groups, and each pace group has two pace coaches. This allows every runner to train at their natural pace. One coach leads the group, while the other stays with anyone who needs a little extra support.

On Saturday runs, your pace should be comfortable enough that you can hold a conversation while running. If you find that your group is too fast for that, don’t be afraid to move down a pace level. And if your pace group feels too easy, that may be your sign to move up. If you would like to change your pace group talk to your current pace coach.

If you would like to increase the pace at which you are still being able to talk comfortably, the Wednesday Track or ATP program is a great way to get there.
